"To keep the climate safe we need drastic cuts in air travel. Efficiency savings such as more direct flights shave off small fractions but are dwarfed by planned growth."

Some air travel is unavoidable, for example for overseas conferences, but when it comes to domestic flights, there really is no excuse. The damaging effects of air travel on our atmosphere and environment are widespread and well documented. I propose to have a ban on domestic UK flights instilled in SU policy, preventing SU representatives, employees and delegates from flying to SU-related events in mainland Britain. Obviously, this ban will not apply to Northern Ireland and other reasonable exceptions.

Alternative modes of transport should be sought, such as train, coach, or lift sharing when travelling to Su events. This will help to reduce the overall carbon footprint of all those associated with the SU and it's operations.
